  • Tbh that kinda sounds like the point from the start. The price they give is the base-base. Like, an absolute barebones build. Any color you want as long as it’s grey.

    But making each individual add-on available…individually…is pretty damn sweet. And also making them available after-market…presumably in an easy-to-install method (kinda figure to be scalable it must be, otherwise the build-to-order model would flop at the assembly line), is icing on the cake.

    It sucks that it’s a Bezos initiative, otherwise I’d be yelling to shut up and take my money. A basic-ass EV two-seater that can handle light open loads is exactly what I want. And one that is (seemingly) user-servicable? Hell yeah. AND A FRUNK TO BOOT!

    But if bezos is behind it, it’s instantly sus. More sus than any other billionaire, save for a handful.



  • It was worth the price of admission just to see the Lesbian Fire Commissioner.

    Why? Is she building a series of canals to divert water for firefighting? Because that would be legit funny. Because it’s a dike.

    Happy pride month. I think/thought Lesbians took ownership of that term, stripped it if it’s derogatory meaning… and I’m meaning it endearingly. Not like the F word. That’s loaded with historical context and I wouldn’t use that. That’d be like a white guy using the N-word endearingly…that’s really just not possible. Exception for Bob Dillan in “Hurricane”, of course. If I’m wrong please let me know.



  • Hax.

    • Get a bunch of fools who are easily parted with their money to hang off your every word.

    • Permit unregulated gambling on things you can control the outcome of.

    • Start a war that nobody wants. Tell your fools it will be quick and easy and victorious.

    • Fools go and bet on the war en masse.

    • Tell a few rich friends that you’re forfeiting.

    • Profit.

    “Art of the deal” is just magic tricks. He wants you to look at his hands to forget about the whole child sex trafficking thing…but did you notice the moonwalking bear?












  • Yeah this.

    Cars are storing so much data that the auto manufacturers were using “mechanics having access to all your telemetry data” as one of their big reasons people should vote against Right-to-Repair in MA.

    Nobody really questioned what kind of data the cars store, or for how long. Nobody cared that this implied dealer mechanics already have access to all that data, and for some reason we are supposed to trust dealer mechanics with that data more than independents and shadetrees, or even ourselves?

    No matter, the propaganda must’ve worked because the ballot initiative failed.

    Moral of the story, listen to what people don’t say. It’s often more important.
